SEMAU (Southeast Model Africa Union) is a simulation of the proceedings of the African Union. It provides a unique opportunity for university and college students to study the role, structure and performance of the Union, in the search for solutions to key economic, social, and political-security issues facing the African continent. Through simulation, participants gain a clearer understanding of the multi-various determinants, capabilities and constraints that shape the domestic and foreign policies of African countries, as well as the patterns of cooperation and conflict that characterize intra-African diplomacy.

The experience is designed to enrich and enhance student understanding of the political, economic, and cultural dimensions of different African countries, and how they relate to each other and to the rest of the world. Delegates gain an understanding of African issues from an African perspective, and knowledge that is rewarding to them in their collegiate and community endeavors.
